Also, I always convert at audio bitrate 128 kps joint-stereo and 300 kps video at 24 fps ... even if playing on to my tv via player hook up ... video at 300 kps seems to work fine at 320x240 ... enough detail and reasonable file size ... approx 200MB per hour ... I find this gives good video and that the nicer audio track is worth it ...

I've done hundreds of conversions and lots of settings comparisons over the last couple of years ... to check for yourself, encode a couple of minutes at different settings to compare ...

thanks for that, i am using vidrop to convert DVD to 480x272 res for a 4.3" screen player, i like 512kbps on this size player as anyhting lower is to blocky and it also keeps files sizes down as well, audio i use is 96, again this keeps size down and also helps cut out the sync problems on many of these new player and old ones, and even on these new 27 series rockchips that so arrogantly claim to PLAY ANYTHING!!!!
